It also provides data logging functionality and can be configured to read and take values from the I/O channel, on a triggered event or on a timed basis. The data collected from the unit can then be handled by microSD using the slot available or via email/FTP which can be setup through the web server interface.
The module also boasts flexibility in the applications field being able to support XW-boards through the use of an I/O expansion bus that can implement D/I, D/O, A/D and D/A functions.
The WISE-5800 can be easily integrated and used with existing IAS devices and master/slave systems. This is due to Modbus RTU being an open RS-232/RS485 serial protocol, derived from the master/slave architecture, which is widely used in Industrial Automation Systems (IAS). The ease of integration can be further seen as it supports TCP/RTU protocols, making it compatible with SCADA systems.
Rhys Murphy, Measurement and Control Product Specialist at Amplicon commented: “The WISE-5800 is an excellent product for anyone with little programming experience who needs to set up remote logic and monitoring applications. Its simplicity, user-friendly functions and flexibility, combined with an easy setup keeps costs and hassle to a minimum!’
